Re: Paint Issues

My 2010 is going in for a complete repaint. The issue isn't tailgating and the solution isn't to 3M coat the entire car, it's the paint only being half as thick as it should be. Body shop manager showed me the gauge on 3 different places on my Kizashi, 2-4 mils thick. Did the same to a Pacifica and...

Re: Kizashi Paint Chip Problem !!!!

Kind of a strange first post, I'm sure, but I've been lurking for a while, so I feel entitled to do so. I've got about 3,600 miles on my 2010 SE AWD with Platinum Silver Metallic paint.

Re: Paint Issues

yes they have found the problem with paint chipping, its caused by TAILGATING, that of being too close to the car in front of you. My car has 3000 miles on it and not a single paint chip anywhere because I DONT TAILGATE! You just happen to have had someone do a good job at the factory, you never wa...

Paint chips

I read the comment about the paint chips under the FAQ-I have a 2011 and it DOES HAVE Significant paint chips at 5k miles, which is way more than my 2 previous VW had at over 100k miles: of which they were driven under the same conditions and locations. This IS a problem! Many people have complained...
